Does anybody know how to change the text-color in the buddylist/mainwindow?

I've used ResHacker to edit the PNG's, BMP's and UIFILE's.. I've succeded in changing the look and text of the chatwindow, but I can't find a THING to just TOUCH the buddylist...

:cry:

help me....

Peace

well you would need to A) have good knowledge of Visual Basic Working with API's.

You would need to find the main window Handle(hWnd) by using the

FindWindow API..

i'll get some more info on it if i can

Thx... I don't know much about programming besides HTML

That's pretty much the only thing...

But I just don't get it... why I can't find that mainwindow, when I can find the chatwindow?

hey Doggie, I have fairly good knowledge of VB. How can I edit MSN ?

cant view it source.. really all u can do with VB is, hook it and add menus etc, edit some of the gui like Contact list, IM Windows text etc etc.. i cant really help u atm as i'm crushed in with study mate.. i see u at msn fanatic so try over there for the time.. as i said i'd help , but school work is top thing atm

cheers

ok thx

hmmm.. You CAN edit the source.. well not the entire source but the GUI like Doggie said... Use ResHack to edit msnmsgr.exe.. from there you can extract all the PNG-img's, Bitmaps UIFILE's and more.. well, try it out.. You'll be able to change almost everything... even the places were the graphics will be shown.. anyway.. I still have my problem, so if you find out how to edit ANYTHING in the buddylist please tell me...

Peace

I know all about that. I made four skins and you can check em out at http://rolando.ya2ew.com/skins.html

But what I wanna edit is the way MSN Messenger works. Therefore be able to restore custom tabs to 6.1

well i can tell u that after i disassembled the main msn exe, i found the Tabs were inside it.. really, i think it would be more of editing via VB with making a patch by opening the file and editing.. or hex editing if u knew what u were doing

I've had many attempts using ResHacker. They all failed
